Texas Superstar: Strong and Stunning Plants for Texans

By: Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center

Every plant earning the Texas Superstar® designation undergoes several years of extensive field trials by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, both part of the Texas A&M System. They must be shown to be super-performing plants under Texas growing conditions. During the field trials, plants receive minimal soil preparation, reasonable levels of water and no pesticides. What does that mean to the average home-owner? It means landscape success with beautiful, proven, Texas-tough plants.
